Milagro piadoso golden

Description

Characteristic of Mexican religious art, ex-votos (milagros) are used either independently or as decoration of more elaborate pieces to make a wish or to thank for a wish fulfilled.

These ex-votos are made of zamac (mixture of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper) melted and poured into a hand-made mold.

Very widespread in Mexico and Latin America, it is very difficult to find artisan manufacturers who jealously preserve their methods and are located in remote areas of Mexico.
